I’m only human;
I’m just a man/woman.
Help me believe
In what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway
That I have to climb.
Lord for my sake,
Teach me to take
One day at a time.

~Chorus~
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That’s all that I’m asking from you.
Give me the strength
To do every day
What I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone, sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord, help me today,
Show me the way,
One day at a time.

Do you remember
When you walked among men?
Well Jesus, you know,
If you're looking below,
It’s worse now than then.
Pushing and shoving,
Crowding my mind.
So for my sake,
Lord, teach me to take
One day at a time.

~Chorus~
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That’s all that I’m asking from you.
Give me the strength
To do every day
What I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone, sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord, help me today,
Show me the way
One day at a time.
